Interfacial activity of SAGD PW endogenous surfactants, humic acids (HAs), and their interaction dynamics with naphtha-diluted Alberta oil sand bitumen (AOSB) present in model SAGD produced water has been addressed in the first part of this PhD thesis. Dynamic interfacial tension σ(t) between oil...

Breaking with tradition: Fischer—Tropsch gas loops and modelling vapor—liquid—liquid equilibrium
DownloadFall 2015
Fischer—Tropsch gas loops have been in use for nearly a century, producing synthetic fuels and petrochemicals. Yet there still remain many opportunities to expand its uses, update the gas loop with new technology, as well as better understand at a fundamental level the way the products behave....

Evaluation of Novel Metal-Organic Framework Materials for Adsorptive Post-Combustion CO2 Capture
DownloadFall 2015
The mitigation of CO2 emissions from large anthropogenic sources such as coal-fired power plants by CO2 capture is a challenging engineering problem. Due to the large scale of energy generation, post-combustion CO2 capture processes must be very low-cost for practical implementation. The current...
